I have a small bathroom with old vinyl tile on the floor. *Would
bamboo flooring
work? *The kind that is sold in packages and can be cut to measure.
Can it be installed on top of the vinyl -- as cushioning? * Tx.

Bamboo will work fine around some water (I had it in my last
kitchen) but the "Pergo" style of flooring isn't tolerant of water
at all. *I don't think I'd use bamboo it in a bathroom though. *
IMO, the only flooring worth a dime in bathrooms is tile. *It's
easy to install, as well.

are u talking tongue and groove or the rolled type?

Bamboo? T&G.

It's cheap and looks rather nice. Indeed, if there are any
negatives, it's that it looks too perfect (like a bowling alley).
If I do it again (and will if I build, later this year or next)
I'll likely do it myself. Bamboo is a piece of cake to put down.
Every piece is perfect.
